I have a bird 55 and its started to have some issues. I've been out probably 6 outings since beginning of this month and when I turn on unit, it doesn't read the right depths when turn to auto range. It would read 0.8 or 1.8 ft then 1 to 3 mins it would catch on and read right depths. When I put in x1 or x2 still same results. If I hole hop it will do all over again. Some days I go out, it will stay at 1.8 ft the whole day. Another issue that happen along with the depth issue is the voltage will come on/off on a full charged battery. I tried another full charged battery with same result. The voltage drops every 20-30 mins I check battery status.
These are my only 2 issues. All the other option works and I can see my jig and fish just fine. I have a feeling it may be the ducer. Any one have a similar problem?

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
